Overview
Rudi appears briefly in Trailer 1 around the 0:52 mark, climbing out of the driver's seat of a green Bravado pickup truck while it is moving at speed. The stunt is framed as social media content. A follow-up post from in-game user YoMammazJammer reading RIP Rudi - C U in heaven, cuz. appears in the same shot, implying he did not survive.
It is unclear whether Rudi was killed by the stunt itself or by something off-screen, but the in-game framing positions him as a casualty of Vice City's clout-chasing internet culture, a recurring theme across both trailers.
